Gemini
Gemini is Google's AI assistant. On many Android devices, it replaces the former Google Assistant.
What does Gemini mean?
Gemini answers questions, summarizes texts, writes drafts, and, if you want, can see what is currently on the screen or in front of the camera. In the Live version, you have a spoken conversation.
Gemini is deeply built into Android and accesses Google apps such as Gmail, Calendar, or Maps if you allow it. Most requests run through Google's servers and need an internet connection. Some features are reserved for a paid subscription.
A general explanation of the term, not from a video. How it plays out on a specific device in everyday use is covered in the reviews below.
